Re: 'to get carried away'

"To get carried away" is to overreact to a situation or to go beyond what is prudent. Like the man who proposes marriage to a woman on the first date. Or the person who decides he wants to learn how to play guitar and buys all kinds of expensive equipment before he knows whether he will be successful.

Or the couple who meet in Vegas and wake up after a long night of drinking to find themselves married.
